Our Diagnostic Test Fits All

Our diagnostic test is a combination of three different tests (SHSAT, TACHS, and SSAT). With this single test, we can assess not only the student’s overall performance but also identify which types of questions they excel at and which they struggle with.

A Specialized High Schools Admission Test (SHSAT) score is required for entrance to the schools listed below.

• The Bronx High School of Science
• The Brooklyn Latin School
• Brooklyn Technical High School
• High School for Math, Science and Engineering at City College of New York
• High School of American Studies at Lehman College
• Queens High School for the Sciences at York College
• Staten Island Technical High School
• Stuyvesant High School

A Test for Admission into Catholic High Schools (TACHS) score is required for entrance to the Catholic schools in NY area.

A Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) score is required for entrance to most private schools, including boarding schools, in the U.S.

GPA A+ Booster

Grade Point Average (GPA) is the most important factor in a successful college application. The first thing admissions officers look at on an application is the courses a student has taken over four years of high school. Maintaining strong grades is essential for enrolling in challenging courses like Honors or AP classes next school year. That is why GPA is more than just a number—it reflects a student’s academic consistency and preparedness. Below is the sample roadmap of mathematics.

Additionally, recovering from a decline in performance can be very difficult. If you notice that you are struggling in a particular subject, assess the situation immediately. However, this does not mean blindly recommending tutoring. If you can overcome difficulties on your own, that is the ideal approach. However, without concrete action, there may come a point where providing help becomes nearly impossible.

Math Competition

If you have a talent for mathematics, participating in math competitions can be an excellent way to upgrade your resume for college applications.

Scoring well on the AMC will catch colleges’ eyes. While colleges also look at standardized tests such as the SAT, contests like the AMC are not only more difficult but are pre-selective, since typically only people who are decent at math to begin with will take the test, which means that being in the top 10% of AMC scorers will put you in a smaller pool of people than being in the top 1% of SAT scorers. Many prestigious universities, such as MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Caltech, also ask for your AMC score if you have taken it.

Additionally, for middle school students who still have relatively more free time, working on math competition problems can be a great resource—not necessarily for achieving high scores but for expanding mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills.

For example, consider the following problems:

• The sum of 10 consecutive odd numbers is 1400. Find the 4th number. (5th and 6th graders)
• The five-digit natural number 24A8Y is divisible by 4, 5, and 9. Find the sum of A and Y. (7th and 8th graders)
